white shirt and blue jeans are two versatile items that were meant to make a statement. i mean, they're good to be worn on their own, but when you put them both altogether--classic. the formality of white shirt is kinda toned down by the laid-back mood of blue jeans. you do not need to accessorize too much since what you wear is actually a classic statement; i think just add bracelet and put the belt on--you're good to go. one more thing, since I wear glasses on my daily basis--and if you do too, they can be another option to kinda put your classic statement on to another level. just don't be afraid of experimenting--it's all about trial and error.

i, personally, do not like to wear accessories--bracelet or watch, to be exact, because i'm a fucking reckless person. i remember one time my mom bought a new watch back when i was in high school and it only took a week for the watch to be gone--i couldn't actually recall the memory, i guessed i left it in my school's toilet or something. anyway, the bracelet i wore was bought when i went to Bali earlier last year. i forgot where i put it and then right before i went to take pictures, i found it under the pile of my books, so i just put it and it looked great.

been obsessing over this song since last year. one thing that really caught my attention was the album art which is very simple yet completely cool. "i wanna have that jacket" that's what i kept telling myself; so, i try to look it up online for the jacket, but the result is nothing. i came up with another option: do a diy. i tried to find the bomber jacket and i would customize the patch. i told my mom about how much i wanted to have the jacket, but then she said that my father had that with the same color. i couldn't be more excited at that very moment that i asked her immediately to find the jacket.

once i got the jacket, i immediately ordered the patch. well, i actually sent him the picture of the album art and i told him, as well, that i wanted to make it bigger cause the ones available were only about 2 inches and i wanted it for about 17 inches. it took for about a week--not too long, in my opinion, especially for something that's particularly made for you. the most important thing is that it's affordable. i was very happy when the patch arrived because i'd been wanting to put it on the jacket; since i couldn't wait any longer, i decided to hand-sew it down myself. i am proud of the result, it is sooooooooooooooooo awesome.

i might sound super know-it-all, but i guess one thing people tend to forget is to breathe. no, i am not talking about respiration; i am talking about us being so uptight about having to achieve something in our lives. life is a competition--that is true, yet once in a while we need to feel content. sometimes we have to press the pause button and be grateful for everything we have in our lives--family, friends, everyone.

i've been falling head over heels with black ensemble. besides the fact that black makes one look slimmer, you'll never go wrong with black. i was actually about to go without the beanie hat, but then when I went to my parents room, i saw my father's beanie there; so, i took it and i tried it on. it looked good and also kinda elevated and changed the look from the boy-next-door to a bit rebellious.

this might sound like a major bullshit until you eventually get to feel it yourself; but, it feels absolutely amazing not having to be attached to other people. i used to keep rejecting the notion as all along i'd always been trying to get myself to be with someone, until one exact moment in my life i got struck so hard that i realized, "well, okay, this is not right and i need to stop doing this." i actually had got many clues back then, but i didn't really care. well, what could you expect from one who was falling head over heels, right? it was a little "surprising" at first to wake up in the morning and the first thing coming to my mind is, "is this really the end? just like that?" it didn't really take so many sleepless nights, though, but still. one thing that i can a lesson from this is that time heals.

anyway, i've always been a fan of patches ever since the day they made a comeback. patches sort of scream "i'm a rebel with a hint of cuteness." and thank god for the invention of iron-on patches because they're super easy and all the tumblresque designs are so cute i want to put them all on my jeans. one thing that will always be my fashion rule is that when it comes to dress up, there should be one attention-stealer. two are too much, one is perfect. that is why i decided to put on my white shirt in order to tone down and at the same time i put the patched jeans under the spotlight.
